9886 Suvin Gold Loopwheel Hoodie Heather Black

We are always happy to welcome more loopwheeled cotton garments to our shop - particularly when they are as well made and as comfortable as Studio D'Artisan's Suvin Gold hoodies and t-shirts. The tees are some of the best we have ever had the pleasure of stocking, so we had to bring in some hoodies as well! For those unfamiliar, Suvin Gold is one of the world's absolute finest cottons, featuring extra-long staple fibers, which are important for both durability and softness. The longer cotton fibers allow for the creation of softer, smoother, and stronger garments, with Suvin Gold being known for providing a silk-like lustre and softness when woven into a fabric such as this. The hoodies themselves feature a slimmer, vintage silhouette, complete with era-appropriate details such as the two rounded handwarmer pockets, traditional neck v, and a body without side seams. In addition, they are finished with heavy ribbing along the cuffs, neck and hem. 

These hoodies are woven on vintage knitting machines, known as loopwheel machines, which are known for knitting the world's best cotton t-shirts and sweatshirts. These rare machines hang from the ceiling to knit large tubes of cotton fabric, with no tension present at all, aside from gravity. This lack of tension is what gives those knits the strength, softness, and longevity that sets them apart from non-loopwheeled cotton garments. These machines are very slow, as well as being fragile and hard to repair, so while they never found longterm mass appeal they have continued their service for those brands who seek out true top quality and authentic production. So, you could say these hoodies are made from the world's best cotton, on the world's best cotton knitting machines!
